###############################################################################
# COMMON OPTIONS FOR BOTH FF7 AND FF8
###############################################################################

#########################
## DISPLAY
#########################

#[RENDERING BACKEND]
# Available choices are:
# - OpenGL ( default )
# - Direct3D11 ( valid alternative for OpenGL)
# - Vulkan ( Tech Preview: Not Recommended )
# - Direct3D12 ( Tech Preview: Not Recommended )
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#renderer_backend = OpenGL

#[FULLSCREEN]
# If off, it will run in window mode.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#fullscreen = no

#[RESOLUTION]
# Resolution of the game.
# Default (value = 0):
# - Window mode will use 640x480
# - Fullscreen mode will use your desktop resolution
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#window_size_x = 0
#window_size_y = 0

#[INTERNAL RESOLUTION SCALE]
# The scale is in multiples of 640x480
# The scale factor is used to render internally at a larger size then the display, this will then be downscaled to the games current resolution
# This is required to avoid visual glitches that may happen when the game is not rendered in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
# This is optional for native 4:3 resolutions, but it will enhance visual quality ( like Nvidia DSR ).
# Default = 2
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#internal_resolution_scale = 2

#[PRESERVE ASPECT]
# Preserve original game aspect ratio of (4:3) by adding black bars on the left and right side (if needed)
# When off the game will be stretched to fit the window's aspect ratio; Be aware the game may look wrong though.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#preserve_aspect = yes

#[ENABLE VSYNC]
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#enable_vsync = yes


#[REFRESH RATE]
# Screen refresh rate.
# Default is 0 = use current screen refresh rate
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#refresh_rate = 0

#[LINEAR FILTERING]
# Allow the usage of linear filtering for textures.
# Please note: some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail.
# This option only affects low-res textures, high-res replacements will still be filtered where appropriate.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#linear_filter = no

#[ANTIALIASING]
# Enable antialiasing filtering, this is done in the last pass when downsampling from the current supersampled rendering ( based on internal_resolution_scale logic )
# Available choices are:
# - 0: Disabled ( Default )
# - 2: 2x
# - 4: 4x
# - 8: 8x
# - 16: 16x
# If you set any value that is different than those, it will pick the higher option ( eg. if you pick 6 it will be 8, if you pick 1 it will be 2, and so on ).
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#enable_antialiasing = 0

#[ANISOTROPIC]
# Enable anisotropic filtering, for high-res textures and overall rendering
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#enable_anisotropic = yes

#########################
# AUDIO
#########################

#[USE EXTERNAL MUSIC]
# This flag will enable/disable the support of an enhanced music layer to reproduce music in-game.
# If you leave out the default configuration
# FFNx will autodetect your environment and will set it to the best available option.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#use_external_music = no

#[EXTERNAL MUSIC PATH]
# Path of the external music files
# Will try to load from this path before using the default for your Version of the game
# Defaults:
# - FF7 1998: music/vgmstream ( 7h-era compatibility )
# - FF7 eStore: data/music_ogg
# - FF7 Steam: data/music_ogg
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#external_music_path =

#[EXTERNAL MUSIC EXTENSION]
# The type of file to search for. By default is ogg.
# Supported extensions: 
# - https://github.com/losnoco/vgmstream#supported-file-types
# - Any additional or any type supported by your loaded winamp_in_plugin
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#external_music_ext = ogg


#[EXTERNAL WINAMP PLUGIN SUPPORT]
# These flags will allow you to make use of compatible in_* and out_* DLL plugins you were used to load on Winamp itself.
# Through these flags you can for example decide to use an input plugin to play something FFNx never though about ( like MINIPSF files )
# and output the sound data to your custom plugin which may add custom reverb and much more.
# By default winamp_in_plugin will use the built-in VGMStream layer.
# By default winamp_out_plugin will use the built-in output layer.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#winamp_in_plugin =
#winamp_out_plugin =

###########################
# Video Player Options
###########################

#[ENABLE FFMPEG VIDEOS]
# This flag will enable/disable the support of FFMpeg layer to reproduce movies in-game.
# Default Value depends on game version.
# - FF7 1998 - yes
# - FF7/FF8 Steam - yes
# - FF8 2000 - no
# It is suggested to keep the default behavior unless you really know what are you doing.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#enable_ffmpeg_videos = yes

#[FFMPEG VIDEO FILE EXTENSION]
# The type of file that the ffmpeg layer will search for. Default is avi.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#ffmpeg_video_ext = avi


###############################
# MUST SET FOR VERSIONS BELOW
# FF7 2012   FF7 STEAM
# FF8 2013   FF8 STEAM
###############################
# The folder name in your game Documents path ( for eg. for FF7 is "C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII Steam\user_XXXXXXX")
# Use this only if you have MORE THAN ONE user_* directories. If not, just leave this commented as the driver will autodetect the directory.

########################
## MODDER OPTIONS
########################

#[TEXTURE PATH]
# Mod directory where textures will be loaded from

# The path will ALWAYS have appended:
# 1. The game name ( if FF7 it will be "ff7/", if FF8 will be "ff8/")
# 2. The game language ( for eg. if ff7_en it will be "en" )
# The resulting path will then be "<hext_patching_path>/ff7/en", if you run for eg. FF7 English
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#hext_patching_path = hext

# This path will define where the driver will look first, allowing you to override core game files, if needed
